Mail-In-a-Box (MIAB)[1] comes with a built in nameserver. I think you may use it as a standalone DNS even for the domain names whose email is not managed by MIAB. Not sure about any benefit of doing it this way though.

I can only give you a datapoint but unfortunately no advice

1. I never discovered any movie on IMDB. I go to IMDB to find trivia, cast or some other fact about a movie that I somehow already knew of.

2. My interest in an open source project will not be influenced by its popularity or any other metrics but purely by what it means to me. I submitted my first PR to an open source project not because it is popular but because it lacked something I needed.

P.S. Thanks to all the nice people who generously contribute to OSS and offer their work for free. Hats off and respect.

There is more to this: who is you?

If you are the owner who foots the bill and has the capability to run your own infra then nothing beats it. If you don't have the capability then cloud throws you the lifeline at a price of course. Pay for it and be happy.

If you are the guy who runs/manages the infra for someone: then there is no point in saving dollars. You peddle Kubernetes and go to the kubecon and post all about it on linkedin and establish yourself as a kubernetes expert. When the owner of current gig goes under, you will have a bunch of job offers to pick from.

Besides, kubernetes solves a problem very elegantly that most companies do not have. Not everyone is google and running apps on web scale with an expectation of 99.99% uptime...

Yes, I am building an application tracking system(ATS) that also includes a job board. Among other sources, I used HN to populate the job board. My project is not open source, but I am happy to share the HN scraping code with you if you like. My email is in my profile.

Your site looks really nice and addresses a real problem. Are you targeting US only remote roles? If not then including any domicile or timezone restrictions in job snippets may be helpful. Also thanks for providing the feed.

Congrats Nico. Came here to tell you about the HN API (https://github.com/HackerNews/API) but I see cheesehead beat me to it. Using the API it is much easier to pick up the latest thread each month and setup a cron job.

The maps on that website have some very cool features including "Journey through time" which allows you to see the maps going back to 1864.

Nitpicking is contagious. Once one does it, then immediately others feel compelled to do it too, me included...

Their pricing page looks amazing. Not because of any funky UI stuff but because of the slight displacement of the decimal point.

Not until it works. But when it doesn't you have an office full of people waiting for someone to fix that broken build server. In terms of lost productivity this disaster is very expensive. Over the years I have suffered only three hardware disasters. One was a NAS+backup screwup but other two were both related to build servers...

I would do exactly what you have done here if I were the dev of the said app. But with the luxury of being an outsider, a user has expressed an inconvenience and it seems to make sense, then if I were to be the dev of the app here, wouldn't I go and create the ticket in whatever system with a link to this post instead of asking the user of the app to follow the red tape? I know there are places where this is not incentivised so this is a question for your org and not for you.

> How hard is it to create another “internet” which is completely detached from the current internet?

Seems like a good way to explain the meaning "network effect".

My bad. I was just responding to the parent comment and the comment(by showbug) they were replying to in isolation. Figma is a product I liked and was so terribly disappointed with the news of acquisition by adobe.

Regarding startups, I just did google "define: startup" and in the dictionary definition there has no VC and no exit.

My favourite comment as well in this world so full of pump and dump shows. The mentality is so intrenched that if you are not one of these pump and dump shows with an exit strategy then you are labelled a lifestyle business instead of a proper "startup".

[Off topic] That is some throwaway account with 60k+ karma and almost 7 years in age.

Oh. Thanks for letting me know. If you want to search for remote then Job type dropdown will help you filter on that or just click on the flying satellites on the map. Again appreciate your feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. Could you please share what was your search term?

Maker here. Most of the data is from HN with a small amount also coming from weworkremotely (thanks guys).

Accuracy is not very good e.g. we associate the listing to the first geographic location found on the post. Use it for fun but go to the original listing before applying for which a link is almost always provided.

Edit: Added the note to indicate that I am the maker of the linked site.

I think you have mistakenly copied an extra header line from your last month's post. I guess you also need a double line break probably just after 'Austin, TX or Remote'

Not commenting about the ppl who are subject of this thread but talking in general. I have been lucky enough to have seen some of these 10x engineers but what is much more common is a 1x engineer feeling and treated like a 10x engineer because they are surrounded by 0.1x engineers.

We are doing now what you did half a century ago. How exactly is that embarrassing for you?

I was trying to find the schedule for the rover including on ISRO's website[1], but the closest I could find was this[2] and this[3] that suggest the rover will be rolled out in the next few hours or may be tomorrow and it has a life expectancy of one lunar (14 earth days). Anyone knows if it will be streamed as well?

Thanks jlokier for taking the time to give your perspective. I guess generic nature of many job descriptions comes from the fact that you are forced to have a job description. When I talk to friends they will usually say something like they are looking for a good java developer but the same guys while writing the job description will write a page full of fluff just to make the job ad look legit. Thanks for your other comment too.

I agree with your assessment. That's why I am trying to explore the possibilities without looking at the money aspect of it at all. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks itronitron. I look at both the applicant and the job advertiser as my customers. I want to take the frustration out of the job application process by making it very easy for an applicant to apply and for an advertiser to scan that application in a second.

Thanks for the suggestion regarding minimising the information in a job advert. I had thought of standardising the CV with minimal info but didn't realise that same applies to the job adverts as well.

Thanks yellow_lead. Both very valid points. #2 is almost a basic necessity but yes you are right that many website don't do it properly. Probably they measure the number of emails sent and try to optimise that.

To be honest, this is one of the first things on my list. A company should not be able to advertise a job without disclosing at least how much they will pay. That is pretty much the first question any potential recruit will have on their mind whether they inquire about it or not.

Wow. This one has escaped my attention till now but seems like a very valid ask indeed. Thanks Joezydeco.

That's perfectly alright ksec. Perhaps it is not a technical problem but a people problem. Or even a system problem that turns people into lying job seekers and unreasonable employers. Perhaps another manifestation of the same phenomena that PG wrote about recently[1]. I can see why job seekers inflate their CVs. They have to do what everybody else is doing. Just like all companies have to be agile, innovative and have flat hierarchies.
